Unattainable

Spotlights hit the stage
As the curtain comes up
Didnt know the play
Not that it mattered much
Because from the first line
I was in a trance
Not from the story
Or the on stage romance
For it was my best friend
Seen in a new light
Watching him soar into the wings
Like a bird in flight
All i could do was gasp
At the new emotions that flowed
That made my hear beat
Way down into my toes
This new creature approached me
Jacket in hand
And took me far away
To a magical land
Days went by and by
My mind was in a whirl
At the thought of him being
With another girl
He became my obsession
And i pushed too much
He walked away disgusted
Over all of my love
It took a long while
For him to trust me again
To let me into his life
Now, we call ourselves friends
Still i crave more
As every day goes by
I wont push too far
For i never want to say goodbye

Nicely penned write on the feeling we all have had. I t gets even harder as you get older when you realize what embers are still glowing for someone that may not feel the same.

The age old issue of crossing the friendship line and screwing it all up. This is an excellent piece of writing!

Ach, this is a great little confessional with us your readers. I esp like the wistful honesty of 'Still I crave more'. It is always like that. The love is sort of lopsided, but it does not give up, loves on in hope. And that word 'friends' is a brilliant word when we really are friends with someone, but a terrible word when we 'Still crave more.'
